A/N I decided after reading countless amounts of fanfics.. (maybe 1 or 2) to add "kill" before each of my chapter names. It's my first fanfic so don't kill me! Also the story is written in Tatsumi's point of view so I'll be using the pronouns "I," "me," "my," and so on and so forth… Just don't confuse me, the author, with Tatsumi because I'm definitely not that generic…
Chapter 1 – Kill Tatsumi
After failing to become a soldier and being robbed blind by a busty blond woman, I think I should really reconsider my career choice. Sure, the Capital appears to be a grand place full of opportunities, but with corrupt the upper-class and the dangerous lower-class, my dreams of striking it rich didn't seem all that possible. I was walking aimlessly in a random alleyway when I noticed a slight movement in the rooftops nearby.
It was nighttime and seriously dark so you can't blame me for reassuring myself with the cliché "It was just my imagination."
Then, I heard the unmistakable sound of a blade being unsheathed. Out of instinct, I turned, only to find myself staring into the _ eyes of a _. _ charged at me, laughing maniacally while doing so. My body was frozen stiff as _ cut straight across my chest.
As a laid on the ground, writhing in pain, I realized that I didn't even remember my attacker's face. Or rather, I had already forgotten _'s face. Suddenly, a wave of terror washed over me. Was I going to die here, alone, without coming close to achieving my goal? My friends, Sayo and Ieyasu, would be devastated to find out about my death.
Thousands of similar thought flooded my mind. But even with my jumbled brain, I knew one thing for sure. I don't want to die!
I stood up shakily, clutching my chest and opened my eyes. I saw a woman gazing at me worryingly. She gave off no murderous intent and had left her weapon, a giant scissor, on the ground. However, none of these facts occurred to me. As far as I was concerned, to survive meant to kill whoever was around me.
I jumped onto her and issued a barrage of savage attacks. I was driven by fear to do whatever I had to to survive. I bit at her, clawed at her, and grabbed her by the neck. Tears welled up in her eyes, probably from the pain. "Sorry," she managed to croak, "I was useless, again…" She went limp and I let her drop onto the ground.
Slowly, I stood up again. Suddenly, it occurred to me, there were a few fresh wounds across her legs that weren't caused by me.
I didn't have much time to ponder this, for I heard footsteps behind me.
"Eliminate!"
A/N Well, this chapter was really short, but to be fair, you can't really not end a chapter there!
